In the 914, I have a blaupunkt MP3000. It has a pair of RCAs on the back which I use as an iPod input.
I think it's worth pointing out that while the cassette adaptors are crappy, their sound quality is actually pretty reasonable. I would rank the options like this: Full Integration with Dock connector & Controls - 10/10 RCA or headphone jack input to stereo - 9/10 Cassette Adaptor - 8/10 FM Transmitter - 4/10 There is a 9.5 option if you have an input to your stereo - Belkin sells a cigarette lighter doo-hickey that has a dock connector for charging and a fixed (but adjustable) level output on it that you can hook to the stereo. This is nice for multiple reasons. 1. If you're fumbling around with the iPod whilst looking at the road, you don't adjust the output volume by mistake (the headphone output varies, but the output from the belkin jobby doesn't). 2. The iPod gets charged while your driving - good for long trips. 3. The iPod pauses when you turn the car off. 4. The iPod cable is a dock connector which is latched into the iPod meaning that when you go around a corner and the iPod gets lost somewhere on the passenger side - the cable is actually anchored into it, so when you try and fish it back you don't end up with just a cable and a loose iPod. I just put the belkin thingo in our subaru (the one with a chassis made by subaru), which required cutting PCB traces to get an additional input (grr). |
